@OWAnonymous_ Overwatch originality out the door as well. 5v5 mode "Battlepass" Character Unlocks "Live Service" I miss when games had actual originality rather than all games have the same exact model

@platypuzzled @ItsHimboTyler Its a mixture of things. But I feel one of the main reasons for hate right now is the mistreatment & misconduct allegations at Activision-Blizzard. Overwatch's public image wasn't exactly terrible before those issues came to light, but it definitely TANKED after they did.

I don't really play overwatch much anymore, but it's so wack that blizzard took the servers down. It's basically saying "Here's overwatch 2! Its free! Oh and if you don't like this product over OW1, suck my nuts".

@platypuzzled @ItsHimboTyler Point is... Overwatch isn't perfect, but its not as horrible as some people make it out to be...but the issues at Activision-Blizzard still need to be dealt will. I hope Microsoft buying AB will help change things, but we'll have to wait and see if work conditions improve.

@_Fluffybuns Maybe, overwatch is still a bit popular but not as popular as it was on launch. So you might have trouble finding an audience

@StirFriedTofus I think now you just open Overwatch itself if you own it! It'll say "servers are down" but it'll eventually show you a QR Code for you to scan, which then leads you to login and put the code that's shown on the left side of the screen :0 That's what my Xbox did for me!

@HoshizoraOW Congratulations Hoshi, the only problem is I forgot to merged my original Overwatch account so I might be redoing everything all over again. I'm hoping we can team up someday.

@BearScareBeauty The real problem is when battle passes, stages, etc. release at a snail's pace. Think of Halo Infinite as a good example of this problem. I don't think Overwatch 2 will be lacking content.

I'm not saying you can't play Overwatch 2, but I won't be. The problems with Activision-Blizzard's culture are well documented and still ongoing. They don't deserve my money or my support of their products

@realcrimson69 Overwatch is 5v5 (I think) battle royale and others is the problem so it doesn’t count

When overwatch first came out it was one of the coolest games. Every character was equally broken and that made it fun to play. Then they messed up with that chaos and tried to balance it. Then Blizzard deflected any criminal acts by making characters gay to mess with SEO

@DarkSunFemme It low-key just feels like boomer gamer paranoia cause there aren't independent servers you can run overwatch on but like Titanfall 2 has a current player base of 5 ppl and they still support multiplayer, the community would actually have to crash into dust for it to die

I talk a lot about Overwatch so let’s be clear here: Activision Blizzard is a company that allowed some truly heinous **** to fester and still has substantial issues it needs to resolve, and there are people who were “let go” or who “stepped down” that should be in jail.
